ASCBC Elections
By Melanie Williams
Assistant Editor
Once again, elections are here to
determine who will constitute the
new associated student body for
the 1993-94 school year.
Candidates for President are:
Matt Brown, Dan Paxton and
James Russell. Matt is a Political Science major and states, "I
feel I can provide an accurate
voice for the administration to
hear." His activities include serving as Freshman and Sophomore
Class Presidents, working on the
yearbook and being RPC for
Smith Hall. Dan is a Fine Arts
major. He has served as President of the Student Alumni Association, Smith Hall program Coordinator, Intramurals Assistant,
Dorm Council and has sung with
Light! for two years. James explains his decision to run for
President: "It started with a
couple of friends challenging me
to do it. What started as a challenge turned into a lot of prayer
and soul-searching, and then a lot
of footwork." He feels that his
experience with the military has
given him an added perspective in
relations and leadership positions.
Running unopposed for Vice
President is Christy Allen, who
has been a Lifeline leader, Lifeline Coordinator, Junior Class
President and Assistant Homecoming Coordinator. Her goals
are "to work with the students
and administration to develop better communication, more clubs,
more activities and an involved
Student Senate."
Joan Spangenberg and Stewart
Burns are both running for Business Manager. Joan believes
that, "As a business major, I have
been academically prepared for
this responsibility in the Accounting and Finance classes I
have taken." She has been a Lifeline leader and a Resident Assistant. Stewart is a Sophomore and
a Business Administration major.
He was very involved in high
school and served as Freshman
Class President last year.
Program Coordinator candidate
Shaylene Davis is also running
unopposed. She has been involved with Homecoming and
with the Lifeline program, and
worked over the summer as a
Youth Director. She exclaims,
"I am enthusiastic and eager to
serve you as your next A.S. Program Coordinator if elected."
'Now you see it, now you don't!'
What ever happened to the Science Wing?
By Frank Dona
Staff Writer
Last Summer a sign was erected in front of the Wallace Theater
announcing the future site of the
long awaited Science Facility.
Not many weeks afterward the
sign was quietly removed.
It was last seen in a heap out
in the Maintenance yard.
"The sign was removed because it was blocking the vision
of drivers and because some of
the information on it wasn't correct," said Dr. Evans, who originally ordered the sign to be erected.
According to the 30-Year Plan
the Science Wing should have
been here in 1991. Dr. Tom
Jones, who is responsible for
capital fund raising said, "the 30-
Year Plan isn't a time-table we
have to stick to. It's more of a
goal sheet that helps us focus
our objectives."
But, is the plan for the Science
wing on the trash heap also?
It may seem so, but it's still
very much needed. "The problem
is that in the current economic
climate it's very difficult to pursue our fund raising strategy,"
said Jones.
The strategy is to make a low-
key approach to major donors.
"We had in mind about twelve
people who could give from
$25,000 to $2 million. Most of
these donors are related to the real
estate industry and since real
estate is in a slump, CBC has decided to put this strategy on the
back burner," added Jones.
For a facility that is expected to
cost $5.2 million, only about
$666,000 has actually been received to date. Some of this
money has been used to pay for
plans designed by Inside/Out Architects of St. Louis, Missouri.
Inside/Out Architects also designed the layout used in the 30-
year plan drawn up in 1986.
"As far as city approval goes,
there haven't been any tie-ups.
Jim Biehle [from Inside/Out Architects] has been before the city
planning review board and there
haven't been any problems with
the design," said Evans.
Although Cal Baptist has a
broad based constituency, Jones
said he was reluctant to approach
them for more major funding.
"We had just finished a major
campaign in September of 1990
called 'Partners in Progess.' To
go back to the grass roots constituency for more funds wouldn't
have been a very good idea."
Recently Evans was authorized
to investigate alternative methods
for financing the project.
With so much left to do, why
was the sign put up in the first
place? "I wanted to generate some
enthusiasm for the project. Perhaps it was a bit premature," said
Evans.

Mike Thompson, guest speaker from Golden Gate
Seminary, challenges hearts at the revival, which
was held last week.
Stay Awake
By Heidi Newstrand
Staff Writer
Last week, Wednesday through
Saturday evening, members of
the Cal Baptist community gathered for six meetings of prayer,
worship, and teaching during
"Got 2 B Tru: Spring Awakening
"93."
Mike Thompson, Vice-
President of Student Affairs at
Golden Gate Baptist Theological
Seminary, was the featured speaker. Responses to Thompson are
very positive, with students commenting on his down-to-earth attitude and honesty. Thompson
opened himself up to the Lord
and completely humbled himself,
giving the Holy Spirit opportunity to work in many people's
lives.
"He kept his talks short yet
made a very strong point each
time and I know many people
were touched and challenged by
his words," says April Donahoo,
BSU president.
There seemed to be a large
amount of internal commitment
and renewal within the hearts of
those who attended any of the
gatherings.
Thompson presented many of
the elementary truths to his audiences. Among these were topics
of change, accountability, confession, fellowship, relationships
and more. Each meeting brought
about intense introspection and
internal commitment individually.
Dr. Scott Key is concerned
about the continuation of the enlightenment many feel right after
such an event. He is praying that
the reassessment of beliefs and
the examination of true Christian
elements will remain in the individual lives of students. "I'm
hoping that what began in the
lives of students through Mike's
teachings will continue and bear
fruit in their lives," he added.
